this is actually the best balm in the entire world for what has been a frankly nightmarish day. a frankly nightmarish several days actually!!! he's content just to sit and quietly scratch him behind the ears and pet his hair, and let the warm feeling wash over him, starting to finally unwind. ]
...Maybe we could make another fort in the tavern. I'm not sure that I want to really move.
[ the way i called them virgin ears when one of them is missing a whole chunk out of it
unfortunately it is going to go back to being a more nightmarish day for fidelio as this wears off and he stops being chill with things, and he's also probably never going to be okay with this much petting again, but. at least for the moment, it's pretty nice. ]
[ his chunks..... and listen at least he doesn't have to be not chill alone!!!! tomorrow taair will be also very not chill. or at least, like, pretending to be very chill. but right now it's a perfect little moment and the horror of the future is only the end of a high and an execution away.
there's a very soft chuckle to that. ]
Ah, that is true... then, I suppose no forts.
[ speaking of. there's a beat, considering how he wants to ask this question - and then ultimately chickens out, and chooses the more neutral instead of: ] Would you mind terribly if I stayed the night here, tonight...? Laurence is staying with us. I thought I might offer him the bed, since he'll likely need it.
Right. Yes. [ SILLY. the pink remains and he laughs, a little airily, bringing his hand up to his mouth as he does. ] Yes, of course... I'll likely need to do the same for my own, as well.
[ he's kind of coming down from this high now but not fast enough for him to fully register this series of reactions so this whole situation is really just coming off like that frasier episode where he can't tell if he's on a date ]
Maybe just plan to meet back there a little later tonight, then? Once we've done our rounds catchin' up with everyone and got our things.
Haha - I'm sure they'll miss you in a moment. To have such a lively room and such close bonds must be lovely...but, we all do seek our moments of privacy, now and then, too.
I hope that your brother won't be too cross that I've stolen you away for the night for one of the very same.
[ no he's just going to get basilio looking at him like this tomorrow probably ]
-- That's not what I meant! I meant - I have spent most of my life alone and I prefer to be around people but occasionally I also feel that it is nice to not be around people no matter who they are! That is what I meant!

[ well. it's a tavern. ]
Can just come to my room if you need a place. Not like Majima's gonna mind, he barely ever went inside it even when he was alive.

[ oh! that. yes. that works. hm. pinkening in the cheeks a little. ]
Are you sure...? I wouldn't want to impose...

weenies out and clears his throat, turning pinker. ] Thank you, Fidelio - I appreciate it.
no subject
Sure. Whenever you wanna head back, I'll just have to stop and grab some of my stuff out of Bas's room quick.

[ oh.
duh. ]

That sounds like a plan.
[ there's a beat - and he shifts a little, leaning over to press a very soft kiss to his cheek. ]
...Thank you, again, for offering.

Like I said, no problem.
[ smiles. ]
Reckon they'll be glad to have me out of their hair for another night anyway.

— Anyway! Shall we make haste? Or did you want to finish off the last of that tiramisu?

Probably already had three more servings than I should've. You want it?
